Iran offers free gas for dual-fuel vehicles
Iran has launched a initiative to provide natural gas free of charge to dual-fuel vehicles nationwide, aiming to reduce the consumption of gasoline, which is facing a rising deficit. Since 2022, natural gas consumption has decreased from 22 million cubic meters per day to 16 million cubic meters. This step is part of the government's efforts to alleviate the gasoline crisis, which has been impacted by the suspension of imports during the war. The initiative targets increasing the use of gas instead of subsidized gasoline, with a plan to bring around 800,000 vehicles back to operating on gas systems. Although the initiative has temporarily eased the pressure on gasoline consumption, experts warn that the crisis is deeper and requires broader measures, including adjusting fuel prices and diversifying transportation options. Despite the blockade, gasoline remains available through various channels, but the main challenge lies in the costs associated with supply.
